The part of Jack Donaghy was written for Alec Baldwin. Unfortunately, I didn't have the courage to introduce myself to him and tell him that at the time, so for several months I met with some of the best actors in New York...it just became clearer and clearer that this part was for no-one except Alec Baldwin. And so I knew what I had to do: I got pregnant and I stalled for a year.
